REVIEW • THEBALM MEET MATT(E) HUGHES

COMMITTED* : A PINKY/PEACHY NUDE

CHARMING* : A MAUVE

DEVOTED* : A BRIGHT RED

It's time for my favorite thing, liquid lipsticks. The Balm recently (or not so recently) added liquid lipsticks to their range and they're called Meet Matt(e) Hughes. Available in 8 beautiful shades ranging from nudes to bright pinks up to dark reds. I was lucky enough to receive the three shades that looked fancied me the most and I must say, theBalm did a good job.

As with all products from theBalm, the packaging and shades names are both pretty and fun. It's got a classic doe foot applicator that I find works pretty well for application, a minty scent that I like and the formula is like an in between of the velvety smooth Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet (review) and liquidy-ness of the LA Girl Matte Pigment Glosses (review). Fully opaque at first swipe, totally matte within a few minutes and quite long lasting with out drying out the lips. Because of the non-dryness it doesn't last quite as well as some others, it will rub off when you eat or drink (especially in the middle) but if you're not doing all of that, you should be fine for a good 5-6 hours.

I like these, I think they did a good job, especially with the shade selection. Charming has become a big favorite of mine and the price isn't bad either, only 2890 ISK ($17) on lineup.is!
